4. At least it's not a man cold (a manly sword cold, on the other hand...)
[ Nagasone's been feeling a little... off for the past few days. Since it's him and he has things to to do, he just brushed it off the best he could and pretend he was fine. It can't be the dreaded winter plague some parts of the citadel caught, he insists in his head. That would feel like dying, wouldn't it? He just woke up stiff at first, and then it was a bit hard to breathe...
Well. Now it's a full-blown fever, sore throat, misery... you know. Now with promptlets: ]
a.)) [ How to act like a Nagasone who is okay: Training! Or at least trying to. He was hoping he could shake off the sickness by being active or pretending he is not that sick. This goes as well as you think it does. If it's him not hitting as hard as he usually is, it's his strikes being punctuated by fits of coughing that would clue someone in. ]
b.)) [ Okay, he gave in a little, maybe he needs something to feel better. Soup, medicine... But he is going to say it's not for him, someone else in the citadel is dying and needs it, trying to deny that he's in rough shape. This is very apparent if you're one of the Shinsengumi swords or his brothers. Please don't worry about him, he's fine... Totally. ]
c.)) [ Finally, the towel is thrown in the ring. This is the prompt where someone tries to keep dad in bed where he's supposed to be and tends to him. That is a task, as dictated by Saniwa-chan because a sword refusing he is affected by being ill is just as bad one claiming that they're going to break from a cold. The job isn't all bad though! It's like... babysitting. Just make sure he rests and doesn't leave his room. ]
d.)) [ Insert timeskip here... but FREEDOM! He's finally recovering and everything's great-- ...Oh. Now he's back to being the dad/niichan who has to take care of other swords. Time to repay the favor, since something that's probably hard for swords to grasp is that these sort of things are contagious. If it's his fault, he's really sorry. ]
7. Wildcard Option!
((If you want to go with a different prompt, be my guest! (I just love this dumb trope and went turbo with it) Just mention in your comment what you want to do and I can come up with something, or you can set it up.))
